Decisions on Some Palestinian and Jordanian Communities in the USA
New York, NY - After a long process that began in 1993 related to the ecclesiastical status of a portion of the Palestinian and Jordanian communities in the USA, the portion connected to the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, there has been a final agreed decision by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Patriarchate of Jerusalem concerning these communities. The Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Jerusalem Patriarchate have agreed that the canonical and pastoral supervision of these communities and their clergy should belong to the canonically established jurisdiction in the United States which is the Eparchy of the Ecumenical Throne in America, that is, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Henceforth, the Patriarchate of Jerusalem no longer asserts any jurisdiction in the Western Hemisphere.
On Tuesday, April 1, 2008, His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew received His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem, together with the senior member of the Holy Synod of the Jerusalem Patriarchate, Metropolitan Vasilios of Caesaria (Palestine) and other clergy. Final details for the implementation of the agreements were completed, with a mutual decision that these communities come under the canonical jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of America. Following the meeting at the Phanar, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America was directed to proceed with the implementation of the agreements by the creation of a Vicariate for the inclusion of the clergy and communities within the Archdiocese of America. The official name of the Vicariate is: “Vicariate for Palestinian/Jordanian Communities in the USA.”
The clergy and communities of the Vicariate will be directly under the Archbishop of America and will report to the Archdiocese through the Vicar. Through the Archdiocese, all of these clergy and communities will be able to participate in the programs and agencies of SCOBA.

Perhaps they should have a chat with Father David Anderson.

It sure seems like Constantinople and Moscow are both gathering & consolidating their flocks and gearing up for some kind of Patriarchal Cold War.

Fr. Serge Yes, great point. I'm sure that he knows them, since he had such an active role in their entry into Orthodoxy to begin with. Fr. Deacon Daniel

"Bites the dust" seems rather harsh for the topic.
"Patriarchs agree on structure of pastoral care for Palestinian and Jordanian immigrants" is more like it. I have to agree... it is a re-organization. Very interesting though. I had heard TOTALLY unsubstantiated rumors that parties within the JPs jurisdiction in the US had remained loyal to the deposed patriarch (Irenaios Skopelitis)... Had that been the case, that would have made the situation more complicated still.

There's also the monastery in Reseca, GA ... I wonder under whose omiphorion they will find themselves? I can't imagine them going back with the OCA or ROCA at this point.
